The Burmese.
lNnflnnnl EnVinM |

The Burmese have I'M exalted opinion
of themselves. Their religious, his
t0rical. and social traditions, acquired
from earliest childhood, and kept
prominently before them by the almost
daily dramatical performances which
are Il conspicuous feature in the ma
tional life, serve to convince them
Of the validity Of their claim to
purity Of descent and the grandeur
o. their antecedents Does not
their very name imply they say,
THAT they are descendants of the holy
Plahmas who came to earth from the
blessed fegions of the Rupa, or seventh
heaven? Does not their Great Chron-
icle Of Kings indisputably prove that
their Kings are representative scions of
the immortal Maha Thummada. the
first Emperorof the Universe?" Though
this display Of oyerweening pride and
sclf-asscrtion is, to say the least, far
from attractive TO even their best
friends and well-wishers, still. if kept
within reasonable bounds, these eccen-
tricities should be rather encouraged
than otherwise, for at this critical pc
Rod Of their national and political life,
when many sinister influences are at
work calculated to undermine and de-
stroy their commendable independence
of character, every indulgence should
be metcd them rather than they should
suffer rs regards self-respect, and lose
the manly bearing which is so refresh
ing to Europeans accustomed 10 the
obsequiousness of the mild Hindu.
